We started a trivia thread over at another forum and it has been a lot of fun.

Here are the ground rules. It starts with one question. The first reply with the right answer gets the floor for a new question. It continues like that unless, A) the person who has the floor doesn't ask a new question, or B) no one gets the correct answer. In that case, the person with the floor asks a new question. No more than one question on the floor at a time, and discussion/clarification is welcome until the floor is taken over by a new question.

See this thread for an example of how it goes: http://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/off-topic-discussion/trivia/1454/page1/

First question: In the 1952 Indy 500, what type of fuel was burned in the record-setting pole-position #28 car? Hint: it won pole position by a full 4 mph over the second-place Ferrari

Yep, it's your floor! To add another tid bit to the conversation, it's all electric! The door has no manual parts, all electric, the battery goes dead and you are stuck. But there is a manual key lock for the hatch and then a cable tied to the left interior trim that will manually open the door bypassing all the electrics. LOL This is why I drive a '59 Rambler.

i went thru the dodge museum up in auburn hills. they have a nash metro there.
original design had the same fenders front and rear; left front could interchange with right rear
grill and hood were the same as the trunk and spare tire rack, and the doors were interchangeable
unfortunately by the time it hit production not much of the interchangeability remained
